This is the simple fact that 'the very person, object, being, situation that tries to PULL you DOWN is usually below you.' hold on a second to run your mind through the key words in the aforementioned. you'll realise that to 'pull down', one must be under/below that which is being pulled. Not surprising too is the fact that no matter how highly placed in status, wealth and affluence the puller is, s/he is usually below what they try to pull down down (one way or the other).
